Carlsbad Relocation A to Z

The Quintessential Beach Town - Cardiff-by-the-Sea

Mar. 13, 2007

Categorized in: Neighborhoods

Tagged with: buyers, cardiff, composer district, sellers, southern california, walking district

I would describe Cardiff as the quintessential beach town. I'm sure there are others that can be described this way...I just haven't visited them yet. Half Moon Bay, near San Francisco, is another one.

Cardiff is close to my home here in Carlsbad, in Southern California, and I do business there, both with buyers and sellers. We considered buying there but couldn't find the right place at the time (inventory was much smaller then). Anyhow, despite the limited inventory (it's a small town) there is a lot to recommend it, especially if you want ocean views and can afford it.

I assembled a few tours about the area that may be of interest. Even if you are not looking to buy, I would be interested in your feedback.

The Walking District in Cardiff - a neat neighborhood with great views and all within walking distance of the town center

The Composer District in Cardiff - a neighborhood where almost all the streets are named after composers

Things to do in San Diego - Part 1

Sep. 15, 2006

Categorized in: Things to do in San Diego

Tagged with: beaches, cardiff, carlsbad, del mar, encinitas, relocation, restaurants, solana beach, surfing

I just updated my other blog, Fans of Coastal SanDiego, with a post on stuff to do in San Diego (for now, beaches, restaurants and Quail Botanical Gardens). Since there is so much, I will be adding to this topic regularly (and as I try out things myself). Take a look!. And if you want some other resources, visit my website.

Above is a view of some popular beach restaurants in Cardiff - you can enjoy the ocean views and the surfers while you dine. The Beach House (upstairs) is a terrific place for appetizers and drinks to watch the sun set! Better views (and I think food) than downstairs and a bit more casual - first come first served, however!

Most, if not all, communities have a website of information for residents and visitors - things to do, places to visit, hotels, and more. You can see the list of sites for the primary communities I service by visiting my website (see Area Information), but here are a few that may be of interest. If you are thinking about relocating here, or going to, I would definitely check out these sites - you will learn lots about the different areas that may interest you. I can also provide further information.
